Is MultiColumn- explorer widget available in swt? - swt

Question

As windows provide to view multiple files in column as i attached in the image.
Is there any SWT Widget available to display/arrange objects in multi column way similar to windows?
I have already used "Row layout(SWT.Vertical)" but i am facing some performance issue while painting if it has more than 2000+ objects.
While windows explorer doesn't have this kind of performance issue if it has more than 6000 data.
I can't use table viewer as it has each row as one object, but in my requirement I need to have object in each cell
Do let me know if any in-built widget is available in JFace/SWT for multi column view explorer to arrange objects.
Thanks

I didn't able to find direct JFace/SWT widget for this requirement. May be others senior members can give pointers.
For your requirement Nebula Gallery Widget
NOTE: THIS WIDGET AND ITS API ARE STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT, as written in its Javadoc
Code goes below :
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Image itemImage = new Image(display, Program.findProgram("jpg").getImageData()); //$NON-NLS-1$
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
Gallery gallery = new Gallery(shell, SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.MULTI | SWT.VIRTUAL);
// Renderers
NoGroupRenderer gr = new NoGroupRenderer();
gr.setMinMargin(2);
gr.setItemHeight(20);
gr.setItemWidth(100);
gr.setAutoMargin(true);
gallery.setGroupRenderer(gr);
ListItemRenderer ir = new ListItemRenderer();
gallery.setItemRenderer(ir);
GalleryItem group = new GalleryItem(gallery, SWT.NONE);
for (int i = 0; i < 20000; i++) {
GalleryItem item = new GalleryItem(group, SWT.NONE);
if (itemImage != null) {
item.setImage(itemImage);
}
item.setText("Item " + i); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
shell.pack();
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
}
Output :
